If that's the case then why are we still trading with China? Why isn't tiktok banned? Russia is being openly punished and rejected but China, apparently so close with them, are not?
I understood that capitalism, despite it's flaws is the way the world has decided to prevent wars. If countries are so intertwined financially it can't be of benefit to either party to war. If China values our business they won't fuck with us. If Chinese companies and parties own interests in our country they won't destroy it or even act against us, as aside from anything else we can sanction them by taking this property without any renumeration.
Because we have democratic laws and, as I said, China is not stupid but acts within the law (apart from cyberwarfare). The results of all this can now be seen with Trump, who is completely destroying democratic values. It is also enough to look at the technological difference between China and Russia. China also produces all the measurement while our measurement is also produced there. Underestimating the Chinese or comparing them with Russia is simply unrealistic.
Let's wait and see the results of Trump policies. In the end, the citizen has the last word when he starts the civil war.
Btw. The tiktok ban showed how loyal the American population is to the Chinese government.
I guess that we consider the risk greater if we shut them out. What did you mean by measurement?
Almost the entire production in all areas is outsourced to China. Russia is only known for oil and its scrap technology.
China can exist without the West (apart from ASML) but the West can no longer exist without China.
I hate the translator + my phone xD
Lol, I had a feeling it was a translation thing, but your English is great.
This kind of brings me back to thinking that this situation, although scary and shit, could be a great opportunity for a better world. Like, for one thing, maybe we shouldn't be buying cheap plastic shit made with slave labour in China. We definitely shouldn't be in a situation where we can't exist without domestic production of necessary things.
